It seems like there's a little bit of contradiction in the explanations of exactly how 4e compatible the DFRPG actually is. Kromm said that is more compatible with 4th edition than 4e is with 3eR, but also called it "4.5". If that means it is as different as D&D 3 and 3.5, that is probably significant. I honestly don't have a really good feel for how compatible it actually is based on the statements that you all have made, and probably really won't until I read it for myself...
